Cop cannot charge you with something he has no evidence on.
Even if he does puts a mirror under your car. Is he some kind of expert on cats? Does he know how cats should look like? Does he even know what cats are?
So in reality the only thing that cop can do is order you to go get tested. But there is no way he can give you a ticket for no cats or even any other mod on your car simply because they are not trained in that field and therefor have no knowledge about it.
That is how this ticket will be treated in court but if you know your **** you can treat it same way on the street.

But if you want test pipes, then go for it. I'm not saying you will get caught and you will get a ticket for sure. But it is a possibility (same goes for HFCs).

So friday night im at ontario mills I get pulled over and the cop just gives me a "loud exhaust" ticket. Then monday morning in city of industry on valley blvd on my way to work a cop follows me for a good 5 minutes then pulls me over and says that he can smell the fumes coming outta my car and that he knows i have no cats he then gets checks under my car and then writes me a ticket having my catalytic converters removed so I just put everything back to stock and need to get it checked by a state ref...
im pretty scared of what the fine will be when i go to court

When I got pulled over for that I asked him what were my decibel levels.
Of course he could not answer that.
He told me that it sounded too loud.
I told him that it had a stock exhaust and he is probably mistaken and asked him again if he got a reading of it.
Realizing that he could not do **** he simply let me go
On the cats I would ask him if he has some kind of a device which measures where smell or fumes are coming from and how was he able to determine that it was fumes coming from my car and not from under his hood or any other car.
After him looking under the car and telling me that I have no cats I would insure him that it is a stock exhaust system and ask him if he have gone through a specific Infiniti exhaust training that he is able to tell if I do or don't have cats.
Even if you end up getting a ticket that's not all.
You battle continues in court.
You need to confuse the cop as much as you can. Cuz in court it's you against what he wrote. And if cop got no training in the field that he thinks you committed violation it is same as your milk man giving you tax advices.
That **** don't fly.

* Exhaust systems which meet smog requirements but are still too loud. Exhaust equipment that states it is, "Legal in all 50 states," refers to smog, not noise.
* Note: New law (27150.2 VC) does not require law enforcement to use sound level meters to test for excessive noise. Citation is based on officer's judgment. Cited violators may have testing done at smog referee stations or may be directed by the court to have testing done. Vehicles in violation must be brought into compliance. A fine may also be imposed.
